Potential Falls for consideration
[edit]Suggesting the following falls be added to the article. Note that some are currently part/obscured/hidden of/by a dam.
- Granite Falls (dam (?) on Minnesota River): A 1905 quotation from [1], ". . . located at falls in Minnesota River, . . .".
- Little Falls: Mississippi River, Little Falls, MN. The wikipedia article on Little Falls mentioned there was a falls located on the river. The article on the Little Falls Dam states the natural drop was about five feet.
- Minnemishinona Falls: located on small stream that joins the north side of Minnesota River, Belgrade Township, Nicollet County. Is mentioned in the article, with minimal information at the Nicollet County webpage - see External Links section. Per a 2006 press release from The Trust for Public Land (TPL), the 42 foot high waterfall was transferred from private owners to the TPL non-profit in 2006, and then re-sold to Nicollet County - see external links.

- Ramsey Falls: Ramsey Creek, in Alexander Ramsey Park (Latitude: 44.55 Longitude: -95.12), city of Redwood Falls. Ramsey creek, within a couple of thousand feet (roughly) of the falls, joins the Redwood River, which itself in a few miles flows into the Minnesota River.
- Winnewissa Falls on Pipestone creek in Pipestone National Mounument, Pipestone, MN. The falls are featured (at least as of Aug 15, 2014) on the [| Monument's home page]
Why Two Lists of MN Waterfalls?
[edit]I found in Wikipedia there are two lists of Waterfalls in MN. The page associated with this Talk page and this one. This does not, to me, seem desirable or necessary.
- This is a category of articles, the other a list of waterfalls, some of which do not yet have articles. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 15:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC).
